[SOLVED] How to set permanent ip address in Tiny Core Linux?

[Adam]

Hi all, ifconfig is a temporary solution to set an ip address to linux/unix. I was wondering to make this permanent on Tiny Core Linux so I don't have to re configure it again every time I reboot this machine.

Thanks in advance

In my /opt/bootlocal.sh, I have this entry:

Code: [Select]

/opt/eth0.sh &
My /opt/eth0.sh:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
pkill udhcpc
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 up
route add default gw 192.168.0.1
echo nameserver 192.168.0.1 > /etc/resolv.conf
this has been done via gui
ControlPanel -> Network

opt or opt/eth0.sh has to be listed in /opt/.filetool.lst.

Thanks for your reply. I’ve tried it but didn’t work

Configuration on the following file will be reset once I rebooted the TC

/opt/bootlocal.sh
/opt/eth0.sh

I did not change /opt/.filetool.lst as /opt is there

root@box:~# cat /opt/.filetool.lst
opt
home
root@box:~#

Config file before reboot

root@box:~# cat /opt/bootlocal.sh
#!/bin/sh
# put other system startup commands here
/opt/eth0.sh &
root@box:~#

root@box:~# ls -l /opt/

Config file after reboot

root@box:~# cat /opt/bootlocal.sh

Hi Adam
You need to run a backup:

Code: [Select]

filetool.sh -b

[Adam]

Hi Adam
You need to run a backup:

Code: [Select]

filetool.sh -b

Thanks Rich. I've run the backup and after reboot, all the config are still there.

BACKUP CONFIG

Code: [Select]

root@box:/# filetool.sh -b

VERIFY CONFIG AFTER REBOOT

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ sudo su
root@box:~# cat /opt/bootlocal.sh
#!/bin/sh
# put other system startup commands here
/opt/eth0.sh &
root@box:~#
root@box:~# cat /opt/eth0.sh
#!/bin/sh
pkill udhcp
ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.15
root@box:~#
Unfortunately, instead of getting fix ip 192.168.10.15, I’m still getting dhcp ip 192.168.10.101.

VERIFY CURRENT IP ADDRESS

Code: [Select]

root@box:~# ifconfig | grep dd
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:27:6C:E7:79
          inet addr:192.168.10.101  Bcast:192.168.10.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
root@box:~#

To skip the initial dhcp request at boot use the boot code of nodhcp

-rw-r--r--    1 root     staff           50 Aug  1 00:54 eth0.sh
Second be sure /opt/eth0.sh is made executable.
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     staff           50 Aug  1 00:54 eth0.sh

Hi Adam

pkill udhcp

Try:

Code: [Select]

pkill udhcpc

Hi Misalf
Read my previous post. You might want to double check your system and make sure your syntax is correct.

Thanks Rich.

Thanks Roberts for your reply. /opt/eth0.sh is executable now.

Code: [Select]

root@box:/# ls -l /opt/eth0.sh

I’ve backup this config using “filetool.sh –b” and rebooted the box. Unfortunately it doesn’t work.
Quick question, may I know how to use the boot code of nodhcp?

[Adam]

I’ve noticed something after reboot. There are two situations now:

1.   I’ll get DHCP ip if I did not login to root
2.   I’ll get static ip if I login to root immediately

Code: [Select]

sudo su

Hi Adam
Reread reply #6 and edit your  /opt/eth0.sh  accordingly. This is not high school, spelling counts.

[jatinkhatri]

well you need to do the following hack

just add following line in .xsession  in ~/tc ( it works for me ...)

sleep 5

sudo ifconfig eth0 xx.xx.xx.xx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx up
sudo route add gw xx.xx.xx.xx
sudo echo 8.8.8.8 > /etc/resolv.conf
other  command if needed


( where "x" is  IP address you want to set  )

[gerald_clark]

No, you do not.

[coreplayer2]

Am not sure but wouldn't you use ControlPanel > Network to set static IP addresses??
